Distribution folder

A GeneWeb distribution, available as a compressed file (.tar er .tgz or .zip) can be unfolded into a distribution folder whose structure is described here. This description starts from an example of an existing downloaded distribution file:

You may rename the gw-7.00-alpha-linux folder to any name of your choice, as long as you use this same name in the cgi-bin/gwd.sh launch script and the gw link to the style and JavaScript files at the web_root.

START.htm : a minimal start page (assumes that gwd and gwsetup have been started)

START.htm

Note also that the minimal gwd start script provided in this distribution folder installs a base folder in the distribution folder itself. You may choose to keep this organisation rather than maintaining a separate bases folder.
